(I am really sorry about the âE symbols they were suppose to be quote marks but something isnt working right. I will be using * symbols at times to replace the quote marks. I hope you can still understand the story)

The winds wiped around violently and the thunder roared so loud, it was as if it was a dragon. The lights shining through the windows, from the many aligned shops in Hogsmade, showed that everyone was inside, keeping warm and dry. Everyone, except a girl named Aki and Harry who followed behind her at a distance.

Harry clutched tightly to his robe, not that it helped much, for he was already drenched with rain water from head to toe. He walked softly as possible, due the water making swishing noises in his shoes and not wanting to give his position away. The heavy raindrops running down his glasses made it very difficult to see. Harry squinted hoping it would help him to see better.

"Hmm, didn't Hermione once show me a spell once?*He thought to himself. "I better not, it will only slow me down" he said deciding not to perform the spell.

Aki put the hood of her robe over her head and continued to walk in a fast pace.

*Where is she going?" he thought.

She turned around and looked behind her; it was almost as if she read his mind. After seeing nothing, she shrugged her shoulders, turned back around and disappeared out of site. Harry sat behind a large wooden crate that he quickly hid behind when she turned around.

"That was close"

He peered over the large wooden crate to look for Aki, but saw an empty street. Confused he stood up and began to walk in the direction he last saw Aki. He turned a corner that lead to a dead-end alley. Harry noticed two figures standing in the corner, one was cloaked, and whose face was clearly noticeable, the other was a large scruffy looking black dog. Harry started to walk towards them his face hidden beneath the hood of his cloak.

A low deep grumble sounded from within the black dog's throat.

"You shouldn't be out here" Harry said in a low tone.

"It's none of your concern" Aki said forcefully.

The dog stepped protectively in front of Aki. "Stand aside, Sirius" said Harry calmly.

The dog barked and transformed into a moderately dressed man, *How did you know?" he said in a low voice.

"I have my ways," Harry said smirking underneath the hood.

Harry stepped past Sirius and walked over to where Aki stood. He didn't get far however, for Sirius grabbed the back of his cloak and pushed him up against the wall, "What do you want with my sister?!" Sirius said protectively.

*Your sister?" ask Harry. "I didn't know you had a sister."

*Who are you?" Sirius growled

*Why are you here?" Harry asked ignoring Sirius's question.

Black tightened his grip on Harry's robe, not knowing it was Harry underneath the cloak *To protect my sister".

"Protect her? From What?" Harry asked, wishing Sirius would loosen his grip.

"None of your business" Black said through his teeth.

*What about Harry Potter?!" Harry asked curiously.

Sirius's eyes narrowed, "Who are you?!" he yelled angrily.

But before Harry could answer, Black pulled off Harry's hood, reveling a shaky boy with jet black hair, emerald eyes, and a thin lighting bolt shaped scar.

Sirius's eyes widened and immediately let go of Harry's robes. Aki's jaw dropped, " You followed me?!!"

"Yeah," Harry said straitening his soggy robe.

"Why?" she asked, walking over to him.

"Well from the way you dashed out of the The Three Broomsticks like that I knew something was going on" He said looking up.

After standing there in shook Sirius finally spoke, "Sorry 'bout that Harry, didn't know it was you"

Harry looked at Sirius, the first taste of bitter jealously getting to him, " So you protect her and forget about me?"

" Of course not, why would I forget about you? I couldn't get a hold of you so I told Aki to report to me." Sirius smirked, "as matter of fact she's told me quite a lot about you." Harry raised a brow and Aki elbowed Sirius.

Sirius noticed a familiar piece of parchment paper sticking out of Harry's pocket and reached for it. "How did you get this?" Sirius asked unrolling the Marauders Map.

"Fred and George gave it to me *Harry said his eyes looking at the map.

"Ive should have known that you'd be the one to find this," Sirius looked up at Harry, *I trust that it is in good hands and is used accordingly.

*But of course" said Harry grinning broadly.

Sirius laughed, *You are truly your father's son."

Black rolled the Marauder's Map back up and handed it to Harry, *Well, I guess I better get going, see you two later."

Sirius transformed back into his dog self and padded around the corner, leaving Aki and Harry alone. It continued to pour down rain but it was no longer thundering nor lightning.

Harry looked back at Aki, whom was leaning against the wall holding her head. *You alright?" He asked concerned. Aki sneezed

"Yeah, Im fine" she said with a weak voice. Aki sneezed again.

"No your not, your sick".

*Harry, Im fine" she protested. Harry didn't believe her at all.

"C'mon lets get you back" he said gently taking her hand.

She didn't move, *You go ahead, Im to tired to move"

"Then, I'll carry you" he said softly picking her up.

Harry felt her shiver, so he wrapped his cloak around her and headed for The Three Broomsticks. Caught in the warmth of his body she snuggled closer, forgetting about the rain. Harry looked down at the snuggled up Aki and smiled.
